Just a hint. To make it easier for you Secret Santa, please go into your User CP, Your profile, Edit Profile, bottom box on the left and and enter a little bit of info about what you collect, then click update profile. I'm sure your SS will appreciate it.
If you can't figure out how to do it, send me the info in a PM and I'll put it in your profile for you. :winkextra: :whistle2:

OK, how about I change it to this:
"I only collect 1930 pennies. The last time someone gave me a coin that wasn't a 1930 penny it took me 5 years of therapy to get over it."
Is that the sort of thing we should do?
is that alloy 1930's you are looking for i heard you say? i sold all mine lol
Quote from: 'Russ e' pid='4260' dateline='1354433815'is that alloy 1930's you are looking for i heard you say? i sold all mine lol
Oh yeah, I forgot it should really say:
""I only collect
Australian 1930 pennies
with a letter of authentication from the RAM. The last time someone gave me a coin that wasn't a 1930 penny it took me 5 years of therapy to get over it."

Oops, sorry about that. Anyone who can't figure out the Forum ID of their recipient, Just post here, and I'll PM the info to you.
$5-$10 plus post, Yes! Up to you whether you put your name on the gift, I usually just put Santa with my address, just in case it goes AWOL in the post. Have fun everyone. :yahoo:
There are two people that I haven't sent assignments to yet, just waiting to hear from one, and that's holding things up momentarily.
The gift doesn't 'have' to be coin related does it ?
:icon_redface: I cant figure it out Nancy.
All Secret Santa assignments have been sent. :yahoo:
I can not figure out who my one is....

Just try to make sure the gift is posted in time for the recipient to get it before Xmas. It won't matter if it's early.

Nancy suggested we lookup their profile to see what they're interested in so the gift is more appropriate. I didn't really think about it otherwise.
My gift from S.Santa has arrived :yahoo: and I'm trying to resist the urge to open it. :angel:
My present is on it's way to my lucky SS.

Mine will also be posted next week. :angel:
Mine is on its way as well.

I'll get the missus to post my pitiful gift off on Monday
:angel:
found it so sending in the morning, i will also put up the tracking number after i send.
If you put the tracking number up it will allow the recipient to easily identify you as santa.
Received Santa present yesterday. Waiting until Christmas day to open it.
Sent Santa present today.
I posted my secret Santa gift today. :angel:
Received mine today.
Thanks Santa will open at Xmas.
Mine has gone in the mail today.
I hope my person likes the surprise.
I got mine off this morning
:D
I will not receive mine until after Christmas because I am currently in Rockhampton with my wife and we are spending Christmas with our daughter who lives in Rocky.
It wil be nice to have a surprise package when I get home after Christmas.
:D
sent mine this afternoon finally, and i have something wrapped in tissue waiting for me to open :) thank you to my ss
My SS gift arrived today. :yahoo:
My Secret Santa is sitting in it's envelope on my desk. I think it is secretly mocking me because it knows I want to open it. But I will not.
Merry Xmas all!
Thank you Santa for the present, will go nicely into my collection.
I would just like to thank my Secret Santa for my pressie/s. Overwhelmed by your generosity. Thankyou.
I now have 2 more nice error coins added to my collection. :grin: Thanks Santa!
Thank you thank you to my secret Santa. :thank_you::D
Thank you to my Secret Santa too, who appears to have broken the budget rules by giving me a lovely toned round 50c, a BU 1962 6d, some nice looking world coins and a neat Parkes Services Club token with Elvis Presley on it!
Here's my Secret Santa gift. Some one knows I am a nutter for decimal changeover stuff and New Zealand coins have been joining my collection over the last year or so. It's a very fitting direction for my collecting......

thank you to my ss for the carded 50 cent pieces, one of which (melbourne cup coin) is sitting on display under my pc screen, the other will be there next week. thanks again :)
Russ,
Are the words you see a problem related to your computer, or medication? From what you have written, it sounds like it could be either.
Malware can do all sorts of strange things. If its a computer problem I am sure we can organise something to get it fixed.
Thanks to my secret santa too!
My $2 poppy is nice!
Santa must have called into New Zealand before coming here. Makes sense, with the time zones.
Most of my NZ coins are circulated; 1965 had a few denominations only available in sets so this is a nice addition to my collection.:yahoo:
Thank you Secret Santa.
from Jeff (who must have been a good boy this year).
